[ME] A LongNight with Friends

Jeremy wasn't sure what to make of the LongNight. This was a place with magic and dragons and alchemy, apparently, so monsters probably weren't too ridiculous, but...the whole thing smacked of a lot of fairytales. Hiding inside, eternal dark, not making noise. To him it felt like a way to pass the last few winter weeks inside. But he wouldn't risk it. Phoebe said she was going to spend it with a boy she'd met, and he didn't want to interrupt that. When he'd found out the bar was open for the time he was thrilled to go there anyway. Good excuse to find himself at a table with a drink in his hand whenever he needed to. He was quite content to sit, drink and stare at the wall, wondering what Diana was doing and if he'd ever see her again. It was becoming more and more clear the answer was likely no, but he was finding it difficult to let go of the hope. Fiddling with his wedding ring, he took another sip.
